12th amBi & Poly-Positive meeting

Potluck and Discussion group, Please arrive between 6 and 7pm so we can be ready to begin by that time. Roommates often sleep early, so quiet hours will need to begin at 10pm. Per usual this is invite only, but you're welcome to bring a supportive friend or two.

Please bring some food dish to share with about 15-20 people. Healthy is good, however people have also taken kindly to all manner of pleasurable indulgences :) Potluck style!
